Meet Your Physical Therapist

I’m Carl Dela Cruz, a Doctor of Physical Therapy who helps people get back to doing what they love—stronger, faster, and more confident than before. Born and raised in Chicago, I studied Kinesiology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy from North Central College in Naperville.

Over seven years of training, I’ve gained experience across diverse clinical settings, but my true passion has always been sports and performance. During my clinical rotations, I worked with athletes and active individuals nationwide—from high-level professionals in Northern California’s Bay Area to a performance-focused clinic in the Dallas–Fort Worth region affiliated with organizations like the MLB’s Texas Rangers and the NHL’s Dallas Stars.

While I thrive in working with athletes, my approach extends far beyond sport. Whether you’re a competitive competitor, a weekend warrior, or someone simply trying to move without pain, I provide the same level of precision, attention, and evidence-based care to help you overcome injury—no matter how big or small.

I’m excited to hear your story and build a plan that gets you back to moving at your best.
